A NEW Rangers kit has appeared on sale – despite not being officially launched by the club.
The strip – which is in an orange colourway – was spotted in a shop just hours after the Ibrox side lost 3-0 to Brann in the Europa League.
Gers have already released three different kits this season, a home, an away and a third.
The home top is in the classic royal blue colourway while the away shirt is white with red and blue flashes across the chest.
Meanwhile the third strip is a grey/black affair and features a retro-inspired version of the club’s badge.
The club haven’t formally unveiled a fourth kit yet but it will be released on Monday October 29.

However, it looks to be already on sale at the Rangers Store inside Glasgow Airport.
There is no mention of a new strip on the club’s website but a picture leaked on social media shows several orange jerseys on a rack inside the shop.
Both adult and kids sizes are hanging up and also visible are all-orange socks.
A “new range” sign sits on the main rack where the tops are hanging up with another label suggesting they will cost £80 (in keeping with the prices of the other shirts).
But fans are having NONE of it with many feeling it is an attempt to appease supporters despite poor performances on the park and haphazard management off it.
Sporting director Kevin Thelwell and chief executive Patrick Stewart in particular came in for criticism – in the wake of supporters confronting them at the airport in Bergen.
One fan said: “Not giving the club a penny more until those two jokers are gone.”
“Will not spend a penny until they sack that pair and drain the swamp that is our squad,” came another response.
While this fan said: “Another massive own goal from the PR department.”
And a fourth said: “Nope, do not spend a single penny and let them know it’s directed at the awful management from Thelwell and Stewart.
“However, support the team and manager to make things better until we can recruit in January.”
Before a fifth commented: “Brutal, won’t buy but would love to.”
Others joked at how the conversation to start flogging the new strip may have started.
“Stewart to Thelwell – ‘Another gubbing last night, time to wheel out the orange kit in the morning’,” remarked one fan.
The top itself, manufactured by Umbro, contains the usual Rangers badges and sponsor detailing in white and has pin stripes running down the front.
It also has a white collar and cuffs with what appears to be blue and red trim.
A press release revealed when the top will make its debut.
It read: “In partnership with Rangers, Umbro has unveiled the season’s fourth kit that will be worn by the team at select matches during the 2025/2026 season.
“The kit strikes a balance between the iconic wave of orange jerseys that engulfed the national stadium in May 2000 during the Scottish Cup Final, paying tribute to the unwavering passion of Rangers fanbase.
“Rooted in fan culture, built on the people, pride and passion that have shaped the club’s story. The kit also acknowledges its loyal supporters over the last several decades, with a bright orange backdrop, minimalist pinstripes coupled with red, white and blue sleeves and collar detailing, creating a kit that meets the energy of modern fandom.

“To celebrate the launch, musicians and Rangers superfans Nathan Evans and pop duo Saint Phnx collaborated to put a fresh spin on the beloved supporters’ anthem ‘Four Lads Had a Dream’. When asked about the kit, Saint Phnx said: “It’s a real privilege to be part of this kit launch. The design is incredible from the subtle pinstripes to the intricate sleeve detailing and the badge that really stands out. It perfectly captures the club’s heritage and modern edge.”
“The kit will make its debut at the Hibs vs Rangers match on 29th October.”
